Alison Mitchell, Sunil Gupta and Jim Maxwell speak with incoming Marylebone Cricket Club president Clare Connor about becoming the first woman to take up the role in the 233-year history of the club. She discusses her hopes of using her one-year term to modernise the club to ensure better gender parity. Connor also remains the managing director of women鈥檚 cricket at the ECB, and discusses the 鈥渦nbelievably disappointing鈥� cancellation of England joint men鈥檚 & women鈥檚 tour of Pakistan which she says was 鈥渁bsolutely the right decision at that time鈥�.

The team also hear from one of the busiest women in cricket - Emily Windsor - who juggles a full time job working for the National Health Service in the UK, cricket commentary for the 大象传媒 and playing for the Southern Vipers in the South of England. Last week she was named player of the match in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint trophy final and reflects on the Vipers win.

And we reflect on England all-rounder Moeen Ali鈥檚 decision to retire from red-ball cricket, and in the aftermath of India women ending Australia鈥檚 26-match unbeaten ODI run, the team analyse whether the time is right for a women鈥檚 IPL-style tournament in the country.
